← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a supercritical fluid within a closed-loop power cycle passes through a turbine?
A)Isentropic expansion generates electrical work✓
B)Vapor desuperheating lowers thermal efficiency
C)Refrigerant subcooling improves volumetric efficiency
D)Thermal cracking increases system pressure
💡 Explanation
Isentropic expansion generates electrical work because the turbine extracts energy from the fluid's expansion, maintaining entropy; therefore work is produced, rather than issues like desuperheating which occur after expansion at different stages within the cycle.
